Interesting.  I did not know about this.

It's disappointing that __resolve doesn't get any information as to  
whether the property lookup is for a method call or not.  I'm a little  
hesitant to use that because it will be so different from the other  
runtimes, and _possibly_ someone may have an application that relies  
on using __resolve.

[I think that es4 was going to have something like a catch-all getter,  
but it was dropped from 3.1/5, maybe it will be back in Harmony...]
